This company makes new bikes out of broken-down cars

Junked cars make us sad. They’re like old smokers: you feel bad for them and their broken-down bodies, and also angry at the companies that sold America on a dangerous addiction. But the company LOLA Madrid has come up with a way to give old cars a second life — as bicycles.

The upholstery becomes a part of the seat. The door handle becomes a seat clamp. The turn signal becomes a reflective light. The transmission belt becomes a bike chain.
